Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 55



Only Noblemtl

055

We need to create a rift in space-time again.

And we have to pull out the deregistration from that gap.

Somehow, Diregie must make the user, that is, the adventurer, enter the dimensional rift.

That’s the flow of the main scenario quest, and it’s the way to correct this pollution.

But how should such a thing be accomplished?

Physical attack? Using your own true skill?

It is not something that can be done by utilizing creatures or throwing items.

It should have been impossible for it to be normal. That’s what many users would have thought.

‘We’ll solve the pollution problem. We can do it.’

But the truth was different.

Jinseong believed it.

Opens a dimensional rift. Opens a dimensional gate. Causes distortion of space-time.

At first glance, it may seem like something impossible and you may give up, but Jinseong did not give up.

‘Open. Open. You can open. You will open.’

There was also a basis for such unshakable faith.

Jinseong’s own arm, mutated and turned pitch black.

Jinseongdo also felt his gaze fixed on the space where Deregi had disappeared.

He knew that his arms were shaking, and that black auras as dark as his arms were gushing out.

‘It’s not just because of . It’s not because I was given that role.’

Jinseong was confident.

It hasn’t been that long since I got into the game Dungeon & Fighter, but I’ve already been through a lot.

Also, because he already had knowledge and information about the game Dungeon & Fighter.

‘I am…….’

Jinseong knew himself.

More precisely, he now knew his own body and the infinite potential it possessed.

And if you have the purpose and spirit to manifest it!

‘Because he’s the Dark Knight.’

Power is something that comes out.

Jinseong’s eyes turned pitch black.

Golden pupils flashed in those eyes.

* * *

Crack, crack, crack… … !

The space began to split apart.

Azalea quickly raised her wand.

“No, something is weird-.”

───────────… … !!!!

Before I could pay attention, the dimensional rift opened again.

“You, Hilda’s Blade!”

The figure of Direji, who was being crushed and sucked into the dimensional rift, was revealed.

It was a luminous deregiment, but it was not meant to escape from the dimensional rift.

This is the goal that Direji aims for, knowing that he will not be able to escape from there on his own anyway, and the result that Jinseong wants.

“If you weren’t here, Hilda’s prophecy would be wrong! You wouldn’t be such a bad companion!”

Direji’s claws grew in an instant and snatched the female Ghost Sword user.

Wheeeeeek… … .

Then, he was sucked into the dimensional rift along with the adventurer.

The broken space was being filled again as if it had never been there before.

“Adventurer! Adventurer! This can’t be happening….”

Before Michelle could finish speaking, the dimensional rift closed.

Louise looked as if she didn’t understand English.

“What the heck… happened?”

She asked Azalea, but Azalea did not answer.

Instead, I saw the space where the adventurer and Diregie had disappeared together.

“Hilda…what on earth are you doing….”

She thought Hilda had sent Deregi into the dimensional rift.

Then he suddenly looked back with an anxious look in his eyes.

It was as if she had remembered something or was trying to ask for help, but she didn’t get what she wanted.

‘… Where is Jinseong?’

Because the person she was trying to ask for help from, Jinseong, was already nowhere to be seen.

What entered Azalea’s field of vision was ‘another broken space’ being filled again and returning to its original state.

‘hmm?’

It happened in an instant, and she wasn’t even sure if she had seen it right or wrong.

So Louise, Michelle, and Azalea could only stand frozen in bewilderment and bewilderment.

* * *

Crack, crack, crack… … !

“it’s okay!”

“Crook!”

Jinseong was so filled with pride that he let out a sound without even realizing it.

My heart was pounding with pride at the thought of believing in my own strength and the sense of accomplishment I felt when I achieved it.

‘Yes, of course! It’s me! It’s the Dark Knight!’

I’m sure it would be possible if it were the Dark Knight.

If the Dark Knight’s background setting is correct, then this will definitely happen.

‘The most! perfect! ear examination!’

A being that wanders through a time gate that is one level higher than the physical world.

A perfect ear examination that drifts through the gaps of time, space, and dimensions, and even escapes Kazan Syndrome!

Jinseong cheered as he confirmed that Direjigae was appearing through the cracks in the broken space.

Now we can say that the pollution is over.

Above all, at this point, users cannot move their characters on their own.

‘Because it’s a quest cutscene. You can’t avoid it or anything. You have no choice but to get dragged into it by Deregi.’

Tsk tsk, tsk tsk… … .

“-huh?”

It was at that moment that Jinseong, who was reviewing the flow of the main scenario quest, heard a strange noise in his ears.

It’s the same thing I heard a little while ago.

The sound of space and time splitting apart, the sound of a rift between dimensions forming.

“Gulp, gurgle?!”

The problem was that the sound was coming from behind Jinseong himself.

Jinseong immediately turned around.

The eyes, which had returned to their original white and black color, had grown so large that they seemed about to pop out.

“What?! How-.”

A dimensional crack appeared before his eyes.

What can we do right now?

Skills? No. There are only items.

Jinseong’s hand, which had thought of the teleportation potion, went straight to [Inventory], but he couldn’t help but pause.

Because there is no card that clearly confirms contamination yet.

───────────… … !!!!

“crazy-.”

The dimensional rift has already begun to suck out the true nature.

In front of another dimensional rift, Deregi was sucking a user into the rift right after he had snatched them away.

“-Why am I-.”

Even though he was exhausted after the fierce battle, there was no way Jinsung could withstand the dimensional force that was sucking in the Apostle Diregie.

Wheeeeeek… … .

The wind blew.

At that point, the true form had already disappeared.

Only the space that had been divided was returning to its original state.

Only then did Azalea’s gaze fall upon that spot. What she saw was nothing but the devastated, suffering town of Resiphon.

* * *

“Kkaaaah!”

“Gulp!”

Jinseong and Taco could do nothing but scream.

At least for the moment, it was such an embarrassing moment that I couldn’t worry about whether the user would see my words in the chat window or not.

“Gulp, gurgle-.”

“It’s okay, it’ll be okay, Taco!”

In the meantime, Jinseong began to look around while calming Taco down.

He had never done it before, but his body was spinning so fast that he wondered if this was what it would feel like to skydive without a parachute. But what he was seeing was clear.

‘Black- purple – passage? It’s like a passage. It doesn’t just fall down. It doesn’t fall.’

If your body is shaking and staggering, it is because you are being thrown somewhere.

Above all, if the real self and Taco who entered the dimensional rift are in their ‘complete form’.

‘Hilda absorbed Diregie into the dimensional rift to make it impossible for her to maintain her physical body. Every moment, when Diregie, who was torn to pieces, tried to re-form with her life force, she was crushed and torn apart again… … That’s the kind of place a dimensional rift is. My body would have literally disappeared without a trace.’

There is a chance that it will be okay.

It’s certainly possible that it could be very dangerous, but at least we can be sure that Jinseong and Taco won’t be reduced to ashes right now.

“Crunch, crunch!”

“Oh shit, but brace yourself for the shock!”

As Jinseong was barely able to gather his thoughts, he saw a stone wall.

If he were to hit a stone wall while being swung and thrown around carelessly, the impact would not be small, so Jinseong covered his head first.

‘Could it be that that wall is some kind of safety net, and as soon as I break through it, my whole body goes boom-. Ugh?!’

While only anxious imaginations were lingering, Jinseong actually felt his body spinning around.

Okay… … And then, soon, everything was reversed.

Because Jinseong himself was standing on the stones that he had thought were walls until just a moment ago.

“Uh, yeah?”

It was inevitable that my thighs would tremble.

It certainly felt like I was standing on solid ground, but there were parts of the stone floor that were not filled in.

Above all, Jinseong couldn’t help but be flustered because something was visible through the gap.

‘… … She’s a female ghost sword user. Is there a female ghost sword user on the ‘floor below’ me? No, then this place is… … .’

The figure of a female ghost inspector user was seen at a distance from the lower part of Jinseong.

Although it wasn’t moving, if you remember how the end of the Direji quest was, this space had one meaning.

‘This is the location of the first awakening quest.’

A place of awakening where users experience each profession.

A type of event dungeon that shows memories and past traumas related to the character, making them more determined.

‘That’s why it’s strange. The first awakening is done at level 50. That’s why the level requirement for the quest related to Direge is 50.’

Jinseong’s own level is still 38.

This is something that would normally be impossible.

So Jinseong was looking forward to it.

Considering that you could originally enter a dungeon that required a level of 50, and that you could enter a dungeon or interfere with another user’s quest regardless of your level…

‘Maybe me too?! But the Dark Knight isn’t an awakening, it’s more like a self-awareness concept-.’

It was natural to have expectations, but Jinseong soon had to stop thinking about it.

“Kyaaaa …

“Whoaaaaah!?”

“Gulp- Gulp!”

A roar echoed from within the dimensional rift. Should it be called a scream or a shout?

Jinseong’s head naturally turned towards the bone-chilling sound.

And I saw.

“D… Reggie.”

The appearance of Direji, who began to repeat the process of being torn apart and regenerated within the dimensional rift.

The immortal body.

A body that is so perfect and immortal throughout Plain: Arad that even Direji himself does not know how he can die.

“Kyaaaaah, ingaaaaah! Do you think I’ll forgive you?”

Jinseong had to take a step back without realizing it.

It wasn’t just because he was overwhelmed by Diregie’s screams, which were literally filled with resentment.

‘… … Coming? Hey, he’s slowly coming towards me!?’

Even as he went through the process of being crushed and regenerated, Direzier was slowly approaching his true self.

The place where Jinseong was standing had a feeling of a stone-paved floor.

And the place where Direji suffers is literally a dimensional rift void with no stepping stones.

Is it about ten meters away from the stone floor where Jinseong is standing?

Jinseong felt it instinctively.

‘It’s slow, but if we can get here at that speed… … .’

If the stone floor that Jinseong himself is standing on is a defensive device that blocks the power pouring in from the dimensional crack, what will happen if Direjie slowly approaches this stone floor?

“I will never forgive you. I will never forgive you, adventurer!”

Moreover, Direji’s determination to destroy everything in front of him regardless of water or fire is so strong that it touches Jinseong’s skin!

Jinseong took out without realizing it.

If you don’t know how to break through this situation, you may only have one option.

“Even your every bone will be infected, and I will surely give you a pain that will melt your soul.”

“!”

Jinseong sent out a dark attribute rotating sword energy.

I was half-doubting whether the attack would work, but fortunately, Deregi, whose body was torn to pieces, eventually began to be pushed back by the attack.

Jinseong walked up to the edge of the stone floor and stabbed himself with his sword.

“!”

This is a new skill learned at level 35, and is an attack that causes a dark energy to explode from the tip of the stabbing sword.

The reason why he was struggling to keep Deregie from getting near as much as possible was simple.

“Keeeeeeet, you guy, adventurer! You alone-.”

“Now, wait a minute! Direji!”

Jinseong shouted at Deregi.

At the moment when Deregi’s words were interrupted, Jinseong pointed at himself with his finger and shouted loudly.

“Hey, I don’t know, but I’m not that guy from before!”

I am not an adventurer.

So don’t attack me.

It was a genuine plan.

In Derege, I saw the real thing while it was still being torn apart and put back together.

And the sixth apostle, the one shedding dirty blood, cried out.

“That doesn’t matter! I’ll kill you, you human woman!”

“ah.”

Jinseong’s plan was immediately shattered.
